Dural sinus occlusion in leukemia.

R B David, M G Hadfield, F S Vines

    Pediatrics
    |November 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A child with acute lymphocytic leukemia developed a sinus clot, mimicking central nervous system leukemia symptoms. This complication may be more common than recognized, especially when spinal fluid tests are normal.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Neurology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) can infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS).
    • Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis typically indicates CNS leukemia.
    • Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis (SST) is a rare but serious complication.

    Observation:

    • A 7-year-old child with relapsed ALL developed SST.
    • The patient presented without the usual CSF pleocytosis.
    • Angiography and post-mortem examination confirmed the SST.

    Findings:

    • Absence of CSF pleocytosis can mask CNS leukemia.
    • SST may mimic CNS leukemia signs and symptoms.
    • SST might be an underdiagnosed complication of ALL.

    Implications:

    • Standard CNS leukemia therapies may be inappropriate if SST is present without pleocytosis.
    • Increased awareness of SST in ALL patients, particularly those without CSF pleocytosis, is crucial.
    • Further research is needed to understand the incidence and management of SST in ALL.
